Main article: Players Tour Championship 2013/2014 – Finals

The Finals of the Players Tour Championship 2013/2014 took place between 25–29 March 2014 at the Guild Hall in Preston, England. It was contested by the top 24 players on the European Tour Order of Merit, and the top eight from the Asian Tour Order of Merit.[22] If a player qualified from both Order of Merits, then the highest position counted and the next player on the other list qualified. If a player finished on both lists on the same place, then the European Tour Order of Merit took precedent and the next player from the Asian Tour Order of Merit qualified. The seeding list of the Finals was based on the combined list from the earnings of both Order of Merits.[23]

Final: Best of 7 frames. Referee: Olivier Marteel.
